unthankful SH*T my kid says

Kid: I don't know how to do my homework. I just don't GET this science stuff!

Mom: OK, I have a co-worker who will come over next week to help you.

[Fast forward to "next week"]

Kid: I don't even know why she is coming over, what am I going to say? "Thanks for coming over but I don't need any help?"

Anyone else confused?

Yeah, Sh*t My Kid Says

One Sunday night somewhere in America...


Mom: Do you have enough clean clothes for school tomorrow or do you need to do laundry tonight?

Kid: Probably tonight.

There you have it! Do you think that teen got their laundry done in time to start the week?

Amazing how teens forget that (every weekend for the last 15 years) they have the need for clean socks and underwear. But they would never forget that they want you to take them to the football game, or to the homecoming dance, etc.

More Sh*t My Kid Says

There is so much said by my kid on a daily basis that simply baffles the mind and wearies the heart. Parenting is definitely not for the faint of heart!

I'm stymied. Maybe I'll find the words later to distill this afternoon into a concise "More Sh*t My Kid Says" posting.

Anyone out there have any similar experiences? Please do share!

The right to remain silent

An ongoing addition to the Sh*t My Kid Says series!

Kid: I have no rights!

Mom: Well, dear, most people who pay no taxes and don't pay any room and board have very few rights. 

But, hey... everyone has the right to remain silent.

New Series: Sh*t My Kid Says

Sure, it can be funny when an adult child lives with their even older adult parent. But what about all of us middle-aged parents out there living with our teenage kids?

I am sure that there will be some pretty head-shaking stuff that will be heard within any parent's walls!

Here are a few examples from the parenting archives:

Mom: Dinner's ready!

Kid: I'm not hungry.

Mom: OK. But you need to eat.

Kid: But I'm not hungry!

[about 10 minutes later...]

Kid: Mom? Can we go get some ice cream?
